Visual input is considered unreliable underwater and therefore its current use in automatic analysis and decisions is limited. This influences the design of autonomous underwater vehicles which are usually equipped with multiple sensors which make them expensive and cumbersome. On the other hand, human divers often manage to complete complicated ...
Tremendous progress has been made in computing systems recently, providing us with a unique opportunity to leverage information about the computing architecture and hardware in real time. Much of our technological solutions - such as those enabling autonomous operations - demand fast and accurate computation. This talk focuses on the ...
